Fiji Airways has set another record in the international arena.

This is after being listed as one of the top 10 airlines in the Asia and Pacific region for punctuality in 2016.

Airline intelligence company OAG has ranked airlines and airports that are punctual using figures from 54 million records.

It rates punctuality as operating within 15 minutes of the schedule.

Fiji Airways was rated 6th among top renowned airlines such as Qantas Airways, Japan Airlines, Singapore Airlines, All Nippon Airways and Virgin Australia International. “Fiji Airways is always looking to improve and this is a great testament to the CEO and the team,” Minister for Tourism, Industry and Trade, Faiyaz Koya said yesterday.

Mr Koya said it was something he knew,  the Fiji Airways team would try to even better and hopefully one day they would get to the top three. OAG according to the CNN, is a UK-based aviation data group that analyses travel.  It provides accurate, timely flight information data and feeds to the world’s airlines, airports, government agencies and travel-related service companies.
